  • hdgforonda Daniel Foronda (@hdgforonda) reported

    @PH7RAOH I totally agree with this, i understand that like every game overwatch has problems and this need to be solved by the developers, but seriously some content creators specially here in twitter just love to throw **** to every aspect of the game for literally no reason.

  • l0aftach1i Falayne (@l0aftach1i) reported

    @dawngx475 @1ceStream Apex was the only game i liked to play because it have overwatch vibe and since i didnt had a pc that can run ow i loved playing apexm it was a fun game but after this all im thinking is what now i feel so depressed and broken everything ended so soon

  • theshowdannyp DannyP | #GAFAM (checkmark) (@theshowdannyp) reported

    I need a new game to play. Either that or I need new friends to play games with during the day. Solo queue is just not working anymore. I also want to get back into Overwatch, so there's that...

  • GulpyTV Gulpy :D (@GulpyTV) reported

    Overwatch is actually shattering my mental, I need to get this done so ******* bad, but these players dude. Let me lay it out, IF YOU HAVE 26 DEATHS IN 25 MINUTES UR THE PROBLEM TY

  • CakeForSoaR Cake (@CakeForSoaR) reported

    @charltonloony Honestly might go back to it if they fix the ranking system i miss overwatch but with the paywall and everything idk.

  • HotelKapps hotel (@HotelKapps) reported

    if overwatch is really changing it’s monetization i might start playing again lol. feels worthless playing when i’m not working towards anything but ****** battle pass items

  • HotGirlVomit Hehe…Yup (@HotGirlVomit) reported

    @holymalice The problem is talking to men who play overwatch

  • ZombieVols LockHimUp (@ZombieVols) reported

    @openargs @MoString Anyone else having trouble with this episode in the Overwatch app? I try playing it but it just keeps spinning, and other podcasts play fine.

  • NlOHBE . (@NlOHBE) reported

    still amazes me that some overwatch console players openly xim and give no shits like YOU are the problem, YOU are the reason why console top ranked is so dogshit

  • reyy_ADOR rey!🌸 (@reyy_ADOR) reported

    overwatch is dead maybe when they fix ramattra it’ll revive

  • Blaskoo_ow Blasko (@Blaskoo_ow) reported

  • kal___mia fariz (@kal___mia) reported

  • FancyRanson FancyRanson (@FancyRanson) reported

    Seriously.... PLEASE fix the Overwatch ranking system

  • Zovahs zov (@Zovahs) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix rank. Won 7 games stayed in the same rank. Just won 7 more and stay in the same rank…. Nice

  • Di0rFairy_ Fae 💗 (@Di0rFairy_) reported

    My overwatch has been so Laggy recently and I have zero idea why cause my internet is literally top tier. Is there something wrong with console servers cause my friends on Xbox are having the same issue </3

  • XLEK_ X | Twitch.Tv/XLEK (@XLEK_) reported

    Stream was short today, had some issues outside of gaming, full reset tomorrow. 6 days left to get masters in overwatch on widowmaker only. Good thing is I got a funny *** clip today.

  • rando9292 Chad Chiaki enjoyer (Rando) (@rando9292) reported

    @Mr_Bluepoint I agreed that ABK would be fine, even the legal trouble they were in would of ultimately resulted in jack **** most likely. All that did along side the delays of overwatch 2 and diablo 4 was drive down their stock price making them a prime target. They weren't Ubisoft lol

  • DJokerio El "Dinero" Jókerío (@DJokerio) reported

    couple things to fix on overwatch: remove tracer shorten roadhog hook require mercy as 1 healer

  • boiseMMAfan lndrld cold (@boiseMMAfan) reported

    @Oti09280470 Sony themselves made it clear that they only care about Call Of Duty. So if we get Crash, Spyro, Diablo, Tony Hawk, Blur, and Prototype as exclusives I'm not gonna complain. Pretty sure Overwatch and Warcraft will go everywhere regardless.

  • carrezada2 U tal do carré 🥵 (@carrezada2) reported

    @meuplaystation Crash Bandicoot Assassin's creed Injustice 2 Overwatch

  • itskylekiddo Droid_ (@itskylekiddo) reported

    Would highly recommend something like Valorant/CS or Overwatch, to satisfy your PvP needs, because, despite the issues those games face, their problems pale in comparison to D2 right now. The comp rework was honestly the last shred of hope I had and it flopped. Thread over.

  • TheShadowbladez Shadowbladez (@TheShadowbladez) reported

    @OWCavalry That doesn’t fix the monetization on the new skins in Overwatch 2… 😐 & Especially this doesn’t benefit Majority of The OG Overwatch players because they either collected everything in general or the only things that they want

  • Mustyasscrack1 Mustyasscrack (@Mustyasscrack1) reported

    @FruitLion3 @WretchedPleb @PlayOverwatch We had that in the game in overwatch 1 for little, absolutely broken

  • Dusty98725826 Dusty~ (@Dusty98725826) reported

    @MoaeadRawashdeh @boba_yutea @Jillsince1996 I don’t have any problem with that, it happens with almost every games, I find it hilarious when the company tries to delete it. Just like overwatch when it first released

  • RevanLaughs Revan (@RevanLaughs) reported

    @ReconNarwhal @evolved117 OW2 is another game that’s notorious for being a terrible “live service” game too. Although at least it’s functional. If Overwatch 2 had a decent campaign for its lore plus a decent map creator/sharing system, there would be a lot more people buying the mtx’s.

  • lesbians4joel robin! (@lesbians4joel) reported

    i think i merged the wrong overwatch account and if i can’t fix it i will sob so hard

  • ElectricRoses Electric Roses (@ElectricRoses) reported

    @PlayOverwatch This should have always been the case, but the problem is, for those of us with everything old already, this means nothing anyway. For a casual player this game just isn't as fun as overwatch 1, I played that for 6 years every week because I loved it.

  • ArmedKraken Armed Kraken (@ArmedKraken) reported

    When I played Overwatch every day I blamed @realjeffkaplan for all of my problems. Now Jeff Kaplan is gone and I just played Overwatch 2. I have to say, Jeff, I'm sorry.

  • perezidentes adrian (@perezidentes) reported

    My problem with overwatch balance changes is that some of these things that players complain about can be solved with basic teamwork skills and game sense while the ones they don’t change tend to be the ones that are actually broken.

  • ianonwheelz Ian (@ianonwheelz) reported

    Ik i cancelled last stream and i don't want to do it again but idk about streaming tonight either, I'm gonna think it about but if i do I'll do my best to be positive deal through issues mech arena can throw at me. If it doesn't work then switch to some overwatch 2?? Stay tuned
